context_page_description: Socialist perspectives on abortion vary. In the first world, some socialist individuals believe in the legalisation and right to abortion on demand as a public service, whereas others do not believe abortion should be legal in any circumstances for a number of reasons. In Third World, there are discussions regarding traditionalists, Natalists, Malthusianists and economics factors within society.
  Socialism impacted a number of countries in the 20th century and had long standing influence on the law of the countries in which it took hold.
  Socialist parties can have diverging perspectives regarding the importance of the issue and where the issue derives from. In particular, feminist socialists believe the oppression of women in society has resulted in restrictions surrounding abortion and a Marxist group may deem abortion as a secondary issue, instead focusing more on what they deem primary issues. Some regions criminalised abortion due to issues concerning the rates of replacement of the population.
